St. Anne’s mission is to work together to build safe, nurturing and resilient families—from pregnancy to parenthood and from childhood to adulthood—for generations to come. We want our families to experience the health and security they deserve so their children can thrive, creating loving homes and opportunities in their lives as they grow. By providing critical services and programs to more than 2,600 families we can be an agent of change to help eliminate generational poverty. Opened in 1908 as a safe refuge for unwed mothers, St. Anne’s has evolved into one of the most highly regarded social-service agencies in the country. We offer residential care, transitional and supportive housing, family education and mental health services, early childhood education and workforce development. These comprehensive and intergenerational programs break cycles of homelessness, poverty, neglect and abuse for the most vulnerable families in Los Angeles. We build thriving families and brighter futures. St. Anne’s is accredited through the Council on Accreditation (COA). COA accreditation means that our organization’s programs, services, administration, and management have been rigorously evaluated and meet best practice standards.
